At ChainShot, we believe that a hands-on experience supplemented with lecture or reading content is the most effective way to learn. You will see this approach in all the tutorials and challenges released for free on the main ChainShot site. We wanted to take this idea even further and create a remote classroom that encompassed our learning ideals and offer students the ability to interact with an instructor in real-time, mimicking a live classroom setting.

Over the past 6 months, we have been creating and perfecting the ideal remote classroom experience and are happy to finally release the ChainShot Classroom!
